Re: Help on isolation switch fit two circuits/power supplies
As Shawn correctly asked "Why" and in addition to Gary's comments: For correct electrical coding, you need to obtain the advice from a qualified UK "sparks" (Electrician in UK parlance). In the UK, the declared voltage and tolerance for mains electricity supply is not 240vac but ...

Of course, for Probing and tool height related activities (shortly to include Tool Library import facilities), you could always use Swissi's ProbeApp instead of trying to reinvent the wheel.

Re: Pro vs Ultimate, MPG questions...
No, its not the only difference. Although you can calculate CSR with the Pro licence, I believe you will need the Ultimate licence to automatically use that in machining your parts.

If you have a properly configured E-Stop, this will already do the job or am I missing something?

I think Terry is confusing what appears in the Program List when he clicks Windows Start. They are 2 separate Programs but CNC12 when started will automatically start the VCP. If this is not the case, please post a current REPORT.ZIP that Shawn has already requested above. This contains detailed inf...

Re: Newbie Intercon question
If I understand your request and ignoring the DXF part, this needs just one main Intercon command with a choice of 2 - Either Bore Array or Drill Array. Assuming your 105 holes are split 7 rows in Y Axis and 15 rows on X axis, you enter Bore or Drill Array and enter increments of nn inches (or mm) f...
